Abstract

A bistable type of electromagnetic relay has a movable block including a pair of permanent magnet units. Each of the magnet units has a permanent magnet and a pair of generally U-shaped magnetic plates attached to its opposite poles. A rotation of the movable body actuates relay contact members. A yoke has opposite ends, each formed by a pair of opposing end pieces, the end of the magnetic plates being arranged in spaces defined by the opposing end pieces. A coil supporting a spool has a through-hole for receiving a core which is inserted therein. Flanges are formed at opposite ends and at a center portion of the spool, with a plurality of protrusions protruding outwardly on both sides of each flange. A pair of base members have grooves and recesses for receiving the protrusions on the flanges of the spool, for rotatably supporting the movable block.
